" The London Newspapers of Thursday last, contain a very curious letter, but a very lament able document of human folly and levity, address ed by Loud Sefton to Mr. Robert \Vaithman, of London. This Noble Lot d, either to give stage effect to the absurd whim in which he was about to indulge, or in a moment of gloom and hypo chondria, (the characteristic maladies of all great modern patriots,) fancied himself upon his death bed. Somewhat like an ancient King of Castile, who declared that be had so many avocations in this world, that lie hail not time to think upon the next, this titled sage does not appear to have troubled himself much about " judgment and the world to come," but was marvellously affected by Mr. Hone's judgment and Westminster-Hall, and the ‘voild which be thought himself upon the point of leaving for ever ; and, as " even in our ashes live their wonted fires," the Noble Travel ler tor " the undiscoverel country, from whose borne no traveller returns"— Qni mine it per iter tanebricosura Wilc o unde negant redire quenvam, thought it most right and proper to leave behind him, for the admiration of all the stedfast friends of religious blasphemy and political libel, the fol lowing montintent of his principles and of his piety, at the supposad hour of his death : Crostetti-hall, near Liverpool, Jail 41. 4 ' Sir,—l address you from a sick-bed, from which I may perhaps never rise, and take advantage of an interval from pain, to send you a draft fur 100 guineas, to he applied to the subscription for Mr. Hone, of which you are t reasurer, " 1 am happy, whatever may be the issue of my illness, to be able to mark my abhorrence of the tyrannical, vindictive, and persecuting spirit which was manifested on the late trials, my contempt fur the spiteful imbecility which urged a cwt.. tinuaace atheism after the failure of the first , and my admira tion of the intrepidity and abi:ity of the individual who so triumphanty defeated the greatest and most dangerous con spiracy of the year 1817. " I fear my letter will be hardly legible, as I have some difficulty in even holding my pen, " I am, Sir, " Your obedient humble servant, " SEFTON." " To Robert Waithman, Esq." " There is as much weakness of intellect, and as much virulence of spirit, in this testamvutat y legacy to blasphemy, as ever was expressed in any document of ten times the extent. One is almost ashamed of the humility of reasoning against so contemptible a memorial of folly, mi d Of obliquity of principle. If to indict a man for a Libel be tyranny, Libel itself must be pro nounced innoxious ; and envy, hatred, and .malice, and all uncharitableness, mast be promoted to a place among the moral qualities which contribute to the good of communities. If it he a vindictive and a persecuting spirit, to put a titan upon his trial for one offence, who may happen to be ac quitted of another, then may we shut up our Courts of Justice, and give our Jurymen a vaca tion without end—for, such prejudgment of guilt or innocence in the servants of ti,e Crown—such a monstrous assumption of power, as the taking to themselves authority to say what criminal pro. secutioNs should be proceeded upon, or what should he relincrished or abated, would be, in ef fect, to make Courts of Justice subsidiary institu tions, for the trial of such cases as the Servants of the Crown may th:nk it proper to permit them to entertain, when the Crown is a party—and it innst always be a party, where the public interest is invol.ed. It doe• not follow—indeed, nothing can be ivory inconsequential or illoical--that be cause ~ne Jiffy may acquit, another Jury, upon another indictment, is hound to acquit also—but, in fact, it is wasting words, and uegrading com mon sense, to treat with gravity ibis Noble Lord's mortnary bounty for the grossest Libel that ever was tried, or his own testamentary caltonoy own) 'the pieJlic justice of his country, and upon the reputations of those who ale the chief adminis ilatOrS of its public CWICeIII9. The spirit which dictated the one gave birth to the oilier; and both are destined to exhibit the infirmity of hu man nature in as mournful a degree, as, perhaps, it has ever beet' shewn. It is impossible to con template it, without apostrophising human folly and temerity, as it is connected with the first aw ful step made towards future life ; and as it is connected with the preseta, and With things of earthly importance, it must cause deep sorrow, !fiat among ,the hereditary counsellors of the Bri tish Crown there should be found one so weak in understanding, and eccentric in ptiociple,-so incapable of just thinking, and so prone to inde corous acting, as floe.

England. Shooters 11.11, that dreadful dra . g and destroyer of horses, is now cut down, so that the stages and post-chaises abso lutely are enabled to trot upon a smart pace,where. but the other day the wearieti tiavelltrs were ob liged to alight, to enable the horses to ge: up. Besides all those rapid and useful public improve ments, a horse and foot patrole are well esta blished on the Bexley Heath Roo!, and it is a fact, that the place where the most daring rob beries were formerly committed.. is now become the safest. In addition to all these vast public advantages, there have risen within these fire !mouths, villai, cottages, and other tenements, in extent a mile long, on that late desart, but now beautifully cultivated spot, Bexley Heath. It is curious, that out of some of the places where wells are digging on this Heath have beets brought up vast quantities of oysters, which, must have lain there upwards of 6000 years, besides Roman pots. Upon the whole, - Bexley Heath, being only 12 stiles from London, bids fair to be a convenient post town, and the first stage from London. AN AWFUL DEATH.-0a the 13 , h instant, a Sheriff's Officer went to the house of Peter ll,d way, a farmer, near Wellington, in this county, to levy an execution for 141. His wife upbraided Hol way for not having informed her of his being served with the initiatory process, as in that case the expences might have been avoided. in the course .of her reproaches she expressed a wish that he was dead. Holway then said he would . go to his son's, a distance of about two miles, to get his assistance to pay theamoont of the levy. Jost before mounting his horsa, he took out his snuff- box, and presenting it to his wife, asked her to take a pinch, which she scornfully declined, and said she wished " that he might •break his neck before he came home." This wish was unhappily realised, for on returning with his son, be sud denly - dropped from his horse in a fit, mid dislo cating his neck, expired without uttering a syl lable A Coroner's Inquest has been held on the body, who returned a verdict of " Died by the Visitation of God."
